Window.open in IE with URL "file:///" results in "Access is Denied" error

Hi All:
In a JSP, which gets launched with HTTP or HTTPS protocol, we have a link to open/view the file(attached from local PC) after it gets uploaded to the server. We used the "file:" protocol to open it in a new window. Currently we are stuck with a problem. We are getting "Access is denied" error when trying to click the link in IE 6.0. It used work in XP until SP1. And we read that starting with SP2 this problem is occurring and it is coming because of the change in Protocol (lauching a window using "file" protocol from a page lauched with HTTP(S) protocol).
We did some research over the NET but could not find a solution to overcome it. Could you please share with us if you have any ideas or soultions with us. It will greatly help us to proceed. Appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks in advance...
-Shiva

Thanks for the reply.
But it will be simpler to open the attachement from the local directory from where it got selected for uploading. We have been doing this until we hit this roadblock.
Any solutions to over come ??

please help me

I think the real problem is that you don't check the return value from read (it's probably less than data.length indicating an incomplete read). Isn't there a readFully somewhere?

I was having an issue opening a spreadsheet with the file extension .xlsm. This appears as an attachment from a client which means macros were utilized when creating the spreadsheet. The problem lies in. The iPads ability to open the attachment. I downloaded the numbers app thinking this would be a default software to open any and all spreadsheets.
Please Help!
Ipad 2- iOS5

You may need a version without macros on it. Unfortunately, pretty much all apps are skinned down versions of their original program, often with less functionality. For example in a word document I can italicize,bold and underline, but I only have a handful of fonts to play with and I don't think I can insert tables or images.
It is very possible that the app simply cannot run macros, which means that document may never work on an iPad.

Can you actually see that the attachment has a .jpg extension? Some mail systems strip it off (I've seen AOL do that) which makes the attachment difficult to open.

"Windows could not start the offline files service on local computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified"

Using Windows 8.1 Pro on Toshiba Satellite i7 Laptop with 8Gb Ram
After upgrade from Windows 8 Pro to 8.1 Pro, the Offline Files/CSC service refuses to start and gives the error message:
"Windows could not start the offline files service on local computer. Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified"
Before the upgrade, offline files worked fine... how do I re-enable offline files?

I had a similar issue - couldn't make any files available offline.
I found that the offline folder service would not start
This was because the CSC permission were totally screwed. I had to take ownership of each folder and file, one by one, then grant everyone full access.
then delete the full contents of the CSC folder
format the CSC database using the registry fix then reboot
in control panel, disable the offline files, reboot, then re-enable. and now its working :)
2hrs to resolve this, with grateful thanks to this thread and some others.

Bridge CS4 freezes when I open a folder with avi files

Whenever I navigate to a folder with avi files, Bridge CS4 freezes. I have tried resetting my preferences, changing the file associations, but it still hangs. Both Windows and Bridge are set up to associate avi files with VLC Media Player. The files open and play just fine in VLC. I am running CS4 on a Win XP Pro machine. It used to not be a problem and I could play avi files in Bridge. I'm not sure when the problem started since I don't shoot a lot of video. Any ideas?

Thx for that im gonna try it....but is there a way to do it without using toolbar or cmd-c...? i mean using only the mouse?why does it have to highlight the file even though i click a bit next to it....?using icon view i can right click next to the folder and i wont have a problem but with list view that i prefer using it will highlight the whole row.....and i dont find free space to right click cause i got many files

Why doesn't the replace option of JavaScript's window.open method work with FireFox 3 or 4?

The photo html files on the Fanac Fan History project's website are now setup to be displayed properly when JavaScript is disabled and reformatted by a php script when JavaScript is enabled. The reformatting adds some features and positions each photo's caption and credits based on the width of the photo and the browser's page width. This worked well except that when a photo page was accessed the browser's back button wouldn't work properly. This was because I had failed to include the replace option in my windows.open statement. The statement now reads fileWindow = window.open(fileURL, "_self", "", true); and this has cured the problem with IE and the other browsers but it still doesn't work with FireFox.
PS: You need to add "Always" to "This happened".

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

Windows photo viewer - problem with JPEG files

Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software (For example from Solidworks).
When I try to right click on a JPEG, a notice window appears written: "Windows Explorer has stopped working - Windows is
checking for a solution to the problem" and then the notice box disapears, the desktop appears and I can continue working.
From the other side - If I try to save as JPEG a screen of Solidworks (like a view of a part) the Solidworks falls but the JPEG
is created (I can see its name in the directory I created it).
I can open the JPEGS with the Paint software if I want but not with the Windows Photo Viewer.
I have the feeling that the Windows Photo Viewer disapeared from my computer - just a feeling.
I will appreciate your assistance.

Hi,
According to your description,please re-associate the .jpeg with Windows photo viewer.
1.Open Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs.
2.Click Windows Photo Viewer, and choose defaults for this program, check the .jpeg, and then click Save.
3.Next,click Windows Photo Viewer again, and click Set this program as default.
As you said, when you tried to right click on a JPEG, Windows Explorer stopped working.
I suggest you use ShellExview to remove the third-party shell extension.

When I have two browser windows open, the first with multiple tabs the second a window opened from a link (so just one tab), and close the second window, I receive the Quit Firefox prompt, "do you want to save tabs...?"

This was happening with FF 3 before upgrading to 4, and was not happening with FF4.0 until the 4.0.1 update was applied, the first time it ran. Same issue on another computer running FF3, so may be a extension related problem.
If I have three windows open and close the third, I do Not get this. Only when two are opened and one is closed. I could have three, close one, then the second and get the prompt.

Does that 2nd window have a '''Close Window''' hyperlink on that page and you are using the X in the upper right corner of that 2nd window to close it?

Why is Numbers on Mac OS X 10.10 not opening files was working about a week ago, my iPhone numbers is still opening and working with the files?

This is what message I get when trying to open on my Mac OS X 10.10 (The file “Record of Work Nov28-Dec11-2014.numbers” couldn’t be opened), which the same file that can be opened from my IOS 8.1 iPhone.
Seriously *** gives

The most likely reason you can't open this file is that you are using an old version of Numbers. It's easy to accidentally attempt to open your document with the previous version (V2).
In rare cases, the document can be corrupt and your only recourse is to grab a backup copy.
